[quote:Light Bulb:MV80MDU3ODQ5XzczNjY3MzE0XzNFQUE0MDE5] Thanks Granny, I thought the last two paragraphs were very interesting: “His visits came on the heels of a WHO emergency committee decision last week to hold off on recommendinga public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), for a third time. WHO experts, including Tedros, said the decision was made because the overall risk of international spread is low, and a PHEIC designation could further hurt the DRC's economy. Two health workers infected Yesterday the DRC's ministry of health said two health workers, including one in Rwampara and one in Musienene, were newly diagnosed with Ebola. Both workers had refused vaccination with Merck's VSV-EBOV, the unlicensed Ebola vaccine currently being used in the region. The Musienene health worker died in the community, officials said. The two new cases raise the total number of health workers infected during this outbreak to 118, including 39 deaths. Health workers represent 5.5% of all cases diagnosed since last August. As of yesterday, a total of 135,395 people in the DRC and neighboring countries had been vaccinated with Merck's vaccine. “ [/quote]

The first link I provided is here. There are many, many more links throughout the thread, and the thread has gone far, far beyond the Fiji situation. Please read and learn and contribute as we all prepare for what could be a very bad time in this country. At the same time, let's pray together against ebola becoming epidemic here, so that none of this will be required and we will all remain healthy indefinitely!
Apparently the hospital first closed the ward where the couple died, and separated the five people who were ill after coming in contact with the couple from the rest of the hospital into that ward.
Now we hear the hospital has closed, and more people are ill.
Research if you like - I'd love to know more. This is just a heads-up on the possibilities.
Replay the original YT news video which just ended, and watch the chat on the right, as well.
